i have a radeon 8500 as well, rage 3d tweak is the best,

though overclocking ceiling on the 8500 is small being the chip is already pushed to its limits. Check out the specs for my OC. the highest i ever got her to was 315/300 (600 ddr) the memory is very delicate and doest take well above 300. unless you modd the card, ie: heatsinks and better cooling. i however do not just in case i have to return the card. modding it voids the warranty.

um those are the best and then you can get the omega/plutionium drivers that are somehow optimized (i dont really know) and they have an overclock option too but they also throw some little program in there too see if youve gone too far or not so its a good plus

and guys come one those sigs are obnoxious, is that two computers in there? come on i could list it all too but then no one will ever really read them unless you make a point in the actual post then why not just state it and keep it really simple
